Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting locations because termites quickly identify and strongly avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later or some places can’t be treated because of access problems, then termites may detect the breaks and gain ingress through those areas.

The most commonly used chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they will pass through the residue and then die. In addition, individual termites can also pass the chemicals to other members in the colony, resulting in a compounding and efficient effect.

Because termites are not able to detect these non repellents, they see no distinction between areas that are treated and people which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The most commonly used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from your structure by positioning bait stations directly on termite activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the timber they have been attacking. This soon kills the termites that ingest the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

In this way, the whole colony may be eliminated even though the location of the colony isn’t known. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to another area.

An In Ground System is used in a similar manner, however they are generally situated around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a termite problem. These systems are useful when the design of the structure may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the perimeter.
